New Orleans Saints

Impact pick: WR Nick Toon (fourth) -- He's not overly explosive and will never be a big-play threat, but Toon is a very good route-runner who understands coverages and can adjust on the move. He's very savvy and will put himself in positions where QB Drew Brees can throw him open. Toon will adjust to balls and make tough plays, and with his hand-eye coordination and boundary awareness he'll be a huge help in the red zone. He could easily work his way into the No. 3 job as a rookie if he can put durability concerns behind him.
Intriguing pick: DT Akiem Hicks (third) -- Strange circumstances during his recruitment by LSU out of junior college led to Hicks leaving the Tigers and landing in Regina, where he simply dominated lesser competition with his sheer physical gifts. Hicks has size and heavy hands, and he moves well for his size. He is as raw as it gets, though, and needs to become more explosive. There are few rookies who stand to gain as much as Hicks from NFL strength/conditioning/nutrition programs, though the Saints likely hope he can spell NT Brodrick Bunkley at times while developing. If Hicks realizes his potential, though, he could become the heir apparent in the middle.
